Safety Instructions
General
Read all of these instructions. Save them for future reference.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the device.
Do not place the device on any unstable surface (cart, stand, table, etc.). If
the device falls, serious damage will result.
Do not use the device near water.
Do not place the device near, or over, radiators or heat registers.
The device cabinet is provided with slots and openings to allow for
adequate ventilation. To ensure reliable operation, and to protect against
overheating, these openings must never be blocked or covered.
The device should never be placed on a soft surface (bed, sofa, rug, etc.) as
this will block its ventilation openings. Likewise, the device should not be
placed in a built in enclosure unless adequate ventilation has been
provided.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.
Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
The device should be operated from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available,
consult your dealer or local power company.
The device is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
purpose of the grounding-type plug. Always follow your local/national
wiring codes.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the
power cord and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
If an extension cord is used with this device make sure that the total of the
ampere ratings of all products used on this cord does not exceed the
extension cord ampere rating. Make sure that the total of all products
plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.
To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Position system cables and power cables carefully; Be sure that nothing
rests on any cables.
When connecting or disconnecting power to hot pluggable power supplies,
observe the following guidelines:
Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power
supply.
Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the
system by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.
Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a risk of fire
or electrical shock.
Do not attempt to service the device yourself. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
If the following conditions occur, unplug the device from the wall outlet
and bring it to qualified service personnel for repair.
The power cord or plug has become damaged or frayed.
Liquid has been spilled into the device.
The device has been exposed to rain or water.
The device has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
The device exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need
for service.
The device does not operate normally when the operating instructions
are followed.
Only adjust those controls that are covered in the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage that will
require extensive work by a qualified technician to repair.

Rack Mounting
Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to
the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on
the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front
stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the
rack first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from
the rack.
Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a
device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a
locking position, and then slide the device into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the
rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit
rating.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a
rack.

Introduction
Overview
The KL3116 Hideaway
TM
LCD KVMP Switch is an integrated LCD console
and keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch that offers secure access to 16
attached computers and mounts in only 1U of rack space. It features
independently retractable 17" LCD monitor and keyboard with built-in
touchpad. To maximize space in your data center the keyboard “hides away”
when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor reclines flush against the
rack to enable continuous monitoring of computers.
An extra console port is provided on the rear panel to manage the LCD KVM
switch from an external console (monitor, USB keyboard, and USB mouse) up
to 20 meters away. The KL3116 supports both PS/2 and USB keyboards and
mice in the KVM Ports (CPU Ports). For added convenience it also supports an
external PS/2 mouse. The KL3116 supports USB peripheral devices to be used
with the attached computers.
A single KL3116 can control up to 16 computers. As many as 31 additional
KH3116, KH0116, CS-1716, and ACS-1216A KVM switches can be daisy
chained together, so that up to 512 computers can all be controlled from a
single keyboard, monitor, and mouse console.
Your KL3116 investment is protected by an included Firmware Upgrade
Utility. You can stay current with the latest functionality improvements by
downloading firmware update files from our website as they become available,
and using the utility to quickly and conveniently perform the upgrade.
Setup is fast and easy: plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. Because the KL3116 intercepts keyboard input directly, there is no
software to configure, no need to get involved in complex installation routines,
nor any need to be concerned with incompatibility problems.
Access to any computer connected to the installation is easily accomplished
either by means of a powerful, mouse driven, On Screen Display (OSD) menu
system, or by entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard. A convenient
Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the
activities of all computers running on the installation one by one.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a KL3116 installation.
By using the KL3116 with its Hideaway™ console to manage your installation,

you: (1) eliminate the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard,
monitor, and mouse for each computer; (2) save all the space those extra
components would take up; (3) save the space that a keyboard, monitor, and
mouse would take with a standard KVM switch; (4) save on energy costs; and
(5) eliminate the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly
moving from one computer to another.

System Requirements
Computers
The following equipment must be installed on each computer:
A VGA, SVGA, XGA, or MultiSync video graphics card with an HDB-15
port
Note: The integrated LCD monitors maximum resolution is 1280 x 1024
@ 75Hz. Ensure that none of the computer resolution settings
exceed the LCD monitor's maximum resolution.
PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports (6-pin mini-DIN), or at least one USB port
Cables
Three custom cable sets are provided with this package: one console cable set
for consoles with USB ports, one 2L-5702P KVM cable set for computers with
PS/2 ports, and one 2L-5202U KVM cable set for computers with USB ports.
Use ATEN's high-quality, custom cables to ensure reliable switching among
computers and daisy chained switches. To purchase ATEN’s custom cables
contact your dealer.
Note: We strongly recommend that you use 2L-5702P KVM cable sets for
computers with PS/2 ports. You may use other cables; however, the
keyboard and/or mouse will not work unless all connectors (keyboard,
video, and mouse) are plugged into the ports on the computer before
turning it on. The 2L-5702P cables do not have this limitation.
